Praise for Time Regime by Jhani Randhawa
Winner of the 2021 Gaudy Boy Poetry Book Prize
“Time Regime is an impressively realized work of poetry, with the maturity and assurance that are more typical of second or third books. While its lines are clearly marked by, and in conversation with, the poems of other minority experimental poets in both this country and the U.K. (Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Will Alexander, Nisha Ramayya, among others), Randhawa’s poetry is also completely its own.”
—Dorothy Wang, Professor and Program Chair, Williams College
“This book is a rare page-turner that demands radical inclusivity from the breath of a brilliant writer. These pages wrangle with the divergent tools to awaken everyone who dares to be part of the poet’s experiment.”
—CAConrad, poet, AMANDA PARADISE: Resurrect Extinct Vibration
“[With] Randhawa’s visionary, encyclopedic attention, part laboratory, part love letter, part auto-ecology,Time Regime is poetry as the process—and the art—of critical and selfless world-restoration.”
—Brandon Shimoda, author
“The language of Jhani Randhawa takes down the toxic tendrils of time as it makes space for wild emergent conversations and landscapes. It is a feat, a feast, a fight.”
—Sawako Nakayasu, poet
